A project to extend Towne Drive to Veterans Way and create rear access to Towne Mall in Elizabethtown is expected to commence in the next few weeks.

Elizabethtown City Council awarded the low bid to local contractor Phillips Bros. Construction at just less than $1.5 million, but Robert Bush, director of stormwater management, said construction has been slightly delayed because the city is attempting to acquire a deed from a developer for a plot of right-of-way.

The lights of First Baptist Church of Eastview cut through nearly total blackness as Easter sunrise service began.

As worship continued, the amber-colored windows began to lighten with the sun.

Volunteers are invited this weekend to help clean up Fort Duffield and then enjoy the beauty of the site.

The fort is one of more than 100 Civil War sites in 24 states receiving maintenance Saturday from volunteers as part of the 17th annual Park Day.

The nationwide volunteer effort was created by the Civil War Trust and has been endorsed by Take Pride in America, a division of the U.S. Department of the Interior. The project is underwritten by a grant from the television channel History.
